Festlig förberedelse
Language: Swedish (Svenska)
Blås fanfar, trumpet! Jag måste skrika ut min hemlighet. Han kommer, han kommer: Hissa vimplarna i topp! I guldgult silke sveper jag min kropp, förlånger mina svarta ögonbryn och målar rosa på den bruna hyn. En sol skall uppgå över Indien. Jag väntar på min herre och min vän, utvald av evighet att tjäna honom. Blås fanfar, trumpet!

Festliche Vorbereitung
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Swedish (Svenska)
Horch der Trompeten Schall! Es klingt wie meines Herzens Wiederhall. Jetzt kommt er, jetzt kommt er: Schnell die Wimpel hoch am Mast! In goldner Seide harr' ich ohne Rast, Mit Tusch' geziert die schwarzen Augenbraun mit Rosafarb' die Wangen, hold zu schau'n. Die Sonne hebt sich über Indien. Ich warte auf den Herrscher, meinen Freund, Aus Ewigkeit erkoren ihm zu dienen. Horch der Trompeten Schall!
